Ted Lasso star Toheeb Jimoh talks about Sam and Rebecca's potential rekindling of their relationship in the upcoming season 3 of the acclaimed comedy show. Jimoh recently scored his first Emmy nomination for his work on the series, one of a total of 20 nods the show received for season 2, having taken home the award for Outstanding Comedy Series last year. Ted Lasso also stars Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Jeremy Swift, Phil Dunster, Brett Goldstein, and Juno Temple.
Ted Lasso follows the titular American football coach who comes to England to manage AFC Richmond, a struggling professional soccer team. Season 2 saw the burgeoning relationship between Jimoh's Sam, a right winger for the team, and Rebecca (Waddingham), Richmond's owner, which ended due in part to Rebecca's fear of heartbreak. Ted Lasso season 3 is expected to be the show's last, with the creators having said from the beginning that it would have a three-season run.
